After a long anticipated wait I attended a one day course on ‘Getting your website found’. Taking the course in December as I originally planned without a website would not have been nearly as helpful. The course was far more ‘techie’ than I thought it would be, but it was accompanied by useful handouts that […]
I have, again, made the mistake of thinking that I can shelve writing (and exercise for that matter) while I devote my full concentration to backstage duties and facilitating a family visit from overseas. I get it into my head that I can’t possibly write and manage everything life presents adequately enough, so something will […]
Two weeks after the shiny new website launch, far from business as usual, there has been a marked increase in my activities. First I had to tackle my fear of deep water, only 6 foot but deep enough for me. I teetered near the edge as the instructor waited patiently with a flotation aid in […]
At last! After a two week hiatus this week’s musings are bought to you from a shiny new website. Welcome. Not being able to post anything the first week was unsettling. I likened it to FOMO (fear of missing out) but in reverse, kind of. I was caught in a flurry of engaging activities and […]
Di-Di leaned forward when she heard a familiar song being played by the organist, it was You’ll never walk alone. Her dad sang this whenever he was watched his team play football. Di-Di knew the words and opened her mouth to sing along but caught a glimpse of her mother’s face telling her she would […]
I made some interesting and useful connections last week, which acted as a good run-in for my bank holiday weekend, entertaining guests. There was a couple of physically challenging days (my fitness level not being where I’d like it) but worth the effort. My friends welcomed the short break from ‘The Smoke” and it was […]
The glass coffee table was broken where the tv remote control had smashed through it. The noise of the crash startled them both into silence. Mia only became aware that she was holding her breath when she carefully exhaled into the deafening quiet. The sight of the broken pieces was making her feel uncomfortable, she […]
In the midst of being fired up and mapping out ideas for my website, I was experiencing difficulty. In my head, it seemed easy. I wanted the website to showcase my work, ability and style, I also wanted to offer my copywriting services. I researched a couple of blogging sites, other writers, copywriters, chose the […]
What a difference a swim makes, or at least getting back into the pool after a long absence. I barely remember my initial swimming lessons as a child, only that I found it exhausting and hard to keep up with the other children. I suspect this may have been more about the sense of competition […]
Farrah was sceptical about accepting the temporary assignment to protect and guide as a hen night organiser. She hated temporary work, you never knew what you would get landed with. It was nearly always cover for a fallen angel, but there wasn’t too much on offer if she wanted to work nights. Farrah preferred nights, […]
